i will measure it on the vernier tomorrow. BCD

That's what I'm afraid of. Better find a spot and leave it there. They even recommend to lag it or fasten it to the wall. BCD.

That's good, haha!

I just got this cabinet and I'm cleaning in up getting all the old labels off cleaning and regreasing the ball bearings. I was wondering if it's a good idea to put a set of casters under it, has anyone else done this? Would it be stable enough? It's not wide enough to get the pallet cart under...

I going to keep them and will probably like you said be Using them when I'm cleaning carb jets, I had to do that more than once. Those interested in the vidmar I'm going to start another thread, I have some questions. BCD

You like that cabinet? I love it! Ive been looking for awhile for one of these. It's what they call eye level height or 60" high. 10 drawer. I've spent most of the evening going over all the ball bearing rollers cleaning and regreasing. Got not a bad price on it too, or I think I did. BCD

I was cleaning out my newly purchased vidmar cabinet that I bought from a machinery surplus dealer. (That's another topic) I was lifting out all the drill bit trays and found all these under neath. Some smaller than a needle. Bcd

This might be a long shot but It sure would be nice to have a swivel base for my Parker 956.A. If anyone has one that will fit. I will pay

Great job! I should have made one for my new shop also. My only question is and I'm surprised no one else mentioned it but it's seems quite slow lifting. I would of thought with that power pack it would lift a lot faster. What is the cylinder bore size? BCD.

I like arbor presses, right after vices and anvils. I have the 3T buffalo, and always looking for another one. The North American made ones are better. I think the offshore ones are cheap cast. BCD.

For the guy that was asking for the link I used of the " flat cone template calculator ". It's at "Craig-Russell.co.uk. Simple plug in the numbers and done. BCD.

didnt give that much thought, I'm thinking with the metal painted on both sides I should be ok. BCD.

it was a little breezy at the time, didn't recall any large amounts of air coming out.

With my barn, not to worried just so long it lets out the hot air and birds don't get in through the vent. I fixed that too, I guess over the yrs the screen got pulled away by the starlings. BCD

Here the cones mounted on the the rest of the housing, I had a look at it at the start of the project and the rest is made out galvanized metal so it was in good shape. Air comes out underneath. The cone is mounted with 4 tabs of 1-1/2 wide sticking up and bent like and upside down "L" with 2...

Joining the two was simple also. Pull it up through the bottom till its snug and trace around with a pencil. Cut up to the line with 4 tabs under neath about 3/4 wide and pop rivet on also. Run a good bead of caulk around to seal it and done. Now the scary part.

I only thing I would of liked to do is roll a nice edge on the cone. Next thing look for my tin working tools is a bead roller with different rollers. Ive seen a few and there not cheap.

I will post the link to get the formula. I took measurements after and it was right on. My son took a pick of me on the barn roof with the vent cap installed, I will post that also. BCD

Finishing off the point. This time I used smaller rivets, I have some stainless steel ones that will do. If I had bigger SS ones I would have used them on the bigger cone too.

Next step is the smaller cone or peak. I have a small bender that worked better that I thought.
